.SH NAME
objline - create metafile line drawings of RADIANCE object(s)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B objline
[input ..]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Objline
takes one or more RADIANCE scene files and produces four parallel
line projections using calls to
.I rad2mgf(1)
and
.I mgf2meta(1).
The output must be redirected to a suitable destination for
.I metafile(5)
2-d graphics, such as
.I x11meta(1)
or
.I psmeta(1).
.PP
The four projections presented are along the X-axis (displayed in the
upper left quadrant), along the Y-axis (upper right), along the Z-axis
(lower left) and an oblique view (lower right).
If multiple RADIANCE input files are given, they are shown in
different colors and line styles.
(Materials are ignored, so materials files are best left out.)\0
If no input files are given on the command line, the standard input
is read.
.SH EXAMPLES
To create a line drawing of the RADIANCE file "myfile.rad" and
display under X11:
.IP "" .2i
objline myfile.rad | x11meta \-r &
.PP
